Canon C330 Printer Information

The Canon C330 is an entry-level copier that can handle the light-duty needs of small offices that also want access to printing and scanning functions. For more advanced features like automatic double-sided printing and copying, this series also includes the slightly more expensive C330D model. While the C330 is among the more affordable models in its class of monochrome laser units, its ability to copy at speeds of up to 30 pages per minute give it a moderately quick output. Aside from quick speeds, this unit's flexible paper input and inexpensive Canon C330 printer toner give it an edge over competing multifunction copiers.

Although it has an all-in-one design, the C330's features are centered primarily around copying and include capabilities such as adjusting brightness and contrast and the zoom level, as well as the option to select between 1 and 100 copies per original. Access to many of these features is provided through its front panel, which includes a useful color touchscreen display that will also enable users to select a destination for scanned jobs and change the print mode. Also on the front panel is a USB port, which will allow users to walk up and print straight from their thumb drives. Those that want to print remotely from their desktop can do so by connecting their computer to the network interface.

The unit's versatile paper input is able to handle a range of sizes including a maximum of up to 11x17 inches. Users who need the C330 to keep up with increasing office productivity have the option to add input trays to increase its maximum paper capacity to 1,000 pages. Users also have the option to add on an automatic document feeder that can provide quick and continuous scanning. This expandability and its large maximum monthly duty cycle of 40,000 pages makes the C330 a good solution for medium volumes.

The device is designed to handle text or graphic projects since it only handles monochrome output with one black Canon C330 toner cartridge. A starter Canon C330 toner cartridge is provided and is easy to install, enabling users to begin working as soon as setup and installation are complete. Replacement black toners can each yield up to 10,000 pages and are inexpensive when users opt for the remanufactured supplies.

There are a lot of options out there for small offices in need of a multifunction copier, but the C330 edges out most competing models with its quick output and user-friendly interface. This monochrome device also benefits from long-lasting supplies, an upgradable media supply and ample control tools for copying.
